A new preprint has landed on BioRxiv that reports on high-accuracy circular consensus sequencing (CCS) on the PacBio Sequel. The study, “Highly-accurate long-read sequencing improves variant detection and assembly of a human genome”, is authored by PacBio and an impressive … more »

Long-read sequencing is steadily gaining traction as scientists realize its value for resolving regions of the genome that are intractable with short-read methods. From structural variants to repetitive or GC-rich regions, many clinically important stretches of the human genome just … more »
